Where Shall I Sleep? Lyrics

Every night I climb out of my coffin
I can find no real rest
Since they stole my body from my open grave
While no heart was beating within my chest
Nightmares haunt me, straight out of hell
For I know I’m a monster
I pull the rope to hear the sound of the bell
Godfather gimme back the sleep I once had

They’re coming, they’re coming
Coming to take control
Black widow and the witchfinder general
Coming to feast on my soul

I roam around for hours and hours
But I hide away from the daylight
Nobody shall see me like I am now
Not a really delicious sight

I know that I decay why do I still run
Is it to find the passage to my eternal rest
I curse my maker for what I have become
Bound to walk on and on, even after my last breath

They’re coming, they’re coming
Coming to take control
Black widow and the witchfinder general
Coming to feast on my soul

Where shall I sleep now?
Take me back to my grave
I long for my eternal sleep
Don’t want to be life’s slave

I surrender to the re-animators
I return to my cage
But still I beg to be set free from the living
The final curtain has been dropped on my stage
Why can’t they let me stay in my eternal sleep?
Unearthly pain fills my head
I open my mouth to yell and weep
A call to arms for the army of the living dead

They’re coming, all fellow corpses
To free my burning soul
They dismember the bastards who molested my corpse
And take me back to the hole

Where shall I sleep now?
Take me back to my grave
I long for my eternal sleep
Don’t want to be life’s slave
